We have a very good safety record, no deaths and only once case of frostbite in
someone who refused to turn around. We really understand all the altitude issues, and work as a team
on the climb, have great meals and a clean kitchen. We are not the most expensive, or the most
publicized, instead we just try to run good, low key expeditions.

Itinerary

We start our expedition a little later than some, as the climbing sherpas are carrying all the loads. This date allows for an early summit window, and also you should still be
in good condition for a later window. Note that in 2008 we started our expedition on the same day. This later start also
allows for trekking and climbing in the Everest region prior to the expedition start.

Warning

Everest is the highest mountain on the planet and despite some of the
publicity it is not 'easy' or even 'straightforward'. It is a very serious peak
and bad judgment or even bad luck can be fatal up there. Even with the best
companies the risk of frostbite or death is real.
